I can't strongly agree. Though It almost hits equal with the scale tipping a little more towards agree. Ghosting is an essential tool but is only for urgency. Its like 911. 911 is an essential service however its only for emergencies. Ghosting people because you find the person dull or uncool is like calling 911 because your roommate at most of your french fries or like any of these reasons list below 👇 Stupid reasons people call 911 Now imagine if people ghost other people for some of the resons posted in those 911 calls 🤦. There are some people of GAG that go Ghosting crazy for the dumbest crap. I know there are certain girls on here that ghost/block people because an individual shared an opinion that wasn't offensive but just not to the other users liking. Example: Asker: Do you think I should have a boob job I want boobs bigger than my D cup... The Answerer: no you look perfect and too big might hurt your back... Asker :😡 your now Blocked! In life I have ghosted about 3 people because they were threatening or harassing. On Gag I blocked one person because they were following my posts and insulting the people who responded to my questions. I warned the person if they had an issue with my post come after me not the responders but they didn't listen. After 5mos I unblocked them and I haven't had any issues. Sometimes the act of Ghosting or blocking is especial to declare that serious boundaries have been crossed. But when people do this for petty reasons it says a lot about them!
Great answer. 90% of ghosters are doing it because they are the boring or immature ones, with no communication skills and no idea what to say or how to communicate in a healthy way, especially when it comes to disagreement or rejecting/rejection.
The other 10% is like you say those valid emergencies when it's the other side being insane, so you just need to end the convo and move on.
I agree and it also depends. If the person sufficently warned you that they didn't like something you do or about you then the ghosting was just to avoid conflict...
Or if they person is violent or creepy, it may be safer to do ghosting... In other cases yes it says more about the ghosted.
Itās a cowards way out. But it also leaves the person hanging and wondering what if anything did I do to make that person do that to me. Did I do something wrong? Was it me? Is something wrong with me? Etc.
And it may have happened on a number of occasions as those are the types of people you are attracting. So again each time it happens it hits harder. It brings deeper questions.
Why canāt people just be honest. Say sorry it just isnāt working out. We just arenāt compatible. I met someone else. Iām not into XYZ. Whatever the case may be. Itās easier to take when you know than when you donāt. That way you can move on and be free.
Alright. Let's be aware though, that if you are frank you will most usually get a wilder reaction from the other person than by ghosting. Ghosting is encouraged by people, in other words, as they very strongly tend to give a penalty to the frank.
It doesn't say anything about anyone, just that they lost interest and it's time to move on. It doesn't have to be personal, this person just wasn't for you. Seriously, it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with either of you!
Of course I'm not talking about the cases when someone (usually a guy) would talk to you until you sleep with him and then cut you off, but when people just drift from you.
If someone just suddenly stops talking then yes it sucks... if they do it slowly, stop replying as often and their messages are shorter then you are more prepared. Being rejected sucks in general but I don't think ghosting is the worst way to go about it.
I said I agree, but it actually depends. I have been ghosted, I have ghosted. The most important thing is how you or the other person do it. You have to do it in a way the other person takes the hint in an obvious way. These days people communicate on different platforms. So you can "not respond" on one platform to make a point (that you are not interested in the way the other person wants to) and continue the connection on other platforms. At least that's what I have done. I don't know if that qualifies to be a "ghost".
Yeah, at first I take it hard but given enough time to think, I'd never treat another human that way. Even if I'm not interested, I'd tell you if you cross a boundary I'd tell you. I actually only ghost after someone openly offends me, even then I handle it quite respectful generally.
I don´t have much experience with these ghosting situations but I think that yes, there is some true to this... it seems to me though, that this has become some sort of nature among the online relationships, seems like many started to do it so easily... so know people just do it and move on... lol
Often depends on the reason. If someone ghosts because the other person is psycho and clingy then its the other persons fault and the ghoster was right to ghost. If someone ghosts because they fear commitment or found a better option, then its the ghosters fault
Iām not saying it applies to everyone, but I can tell you that if >Iām< āghostingā someoneā¦ usually everyoneā¦ itās 99.99% of the time because Iām depressed. Itās totally because of me, and after I climb out of the hole I typically end up apologizing to several people, but almost nobody understands, because they donāt have an issue with falling into dark holes.
Yes its always about them. That said, sometimes people ghost as a side effect of having an ADHD brain. It sucks to be on the receiving end of it regardless of the reason and it's not easy to forgive anyone for. Life is complicated even when we don't think it should be. 🤷🏿 be well.
It deponds on how they ghost to begin with. I am not sure if i be ghosted by guy that i wasn't fully atrw attracted to guy that met on whispers4u. After reminds friends not heard from him or never seem to text anymore. He was one that suggested being just friends. I was being honest about how felt.
It depends entirely on your relationship and what's been said between you. Without explicit details about the conversation/relationship between the two of you it's impossible to say.
Could be your problem, could be theirs. We have no way to answer.
Some people are thick in the head and miss the end when it arrives and passes. The āghostingā is often their confusion, denial or inability to know itās already been declared over.
I agree. Like just be straightforward and say you aren't interested in them or want to cut them off (whether it's friendship or relationship, and explain why).
If the guy who gets ghosted was very consistent with the bad behavior, its all their. Otherwise if someone ghosts you over nothing serious, you have hit a bad person
It says so much more about them than it does the recipient. Avoidant behavior isn't healthy and honest communication is key in any relationship. If the person isn't being forward, then they have a clear issue they aren't addressing properly.
It really depends... sometimes you learn that the other person is crazy or has a lot of red flags so you ghost because it's less direct and less likely to cause a reaction
that they're not that persons cup of tea. I think ghosting is getting more and more popular as texting and social media becomes the prominent communication method. I do it to people and clients I don't see as worthwhile to have a relationship with.
